"We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age." -H.P. Lovecraft, Call of the Cthulhu

Reading some rather eclectic offerings on that day, were you, Cosmic?

The thread start looks to be in the correct forum. :)

The Place of Calling shall be high in the Mountains, most preferably; or near the Sea; or in some secluded area far from the thoughts of Man; or in the desert; or atop an ancient temple. And it shall be clean, and free from the unwanted. Thus, the Place, once chosen, shall be purified by supplications to thine particular God and Goddess, and by burning offerings of pine and cedar. And a round load shall be brought, and salt. And, having offered it to the personal deities, the Priest shall pronounce, solemnly, the following exorcism that the Place of Calling be cleansed and all Evil that the Place of Calling be cleansed and all Evil banished thereby; and the Priest shall not change one word or letter of this exorcism, but recite it faithfully as it is put down:

At least you are on the correct path to what I'm saying, http://usersites.horrorfind.com/home/horror/demon/necro-8.html , while no one else gets it at all. I thought Babelina would get it since she was into it for some time from what she says. ;)

Pfft, GeoffP and I knew exactly what you were talking about. As did Chimpkin and maybe a couple of others.

@Dyw --

I'll accept the blood(I can always find buyers for that) but the soul market has just entered a decline and I won't be able to offload them before they go bad(have you ever tried eating a stale soul? It's not pleasant).

Perhaps some new soul food recipes?

Stormbringer and Mournblade require their fill first anyway...

The Rune blades: Brought to earth centuries before and wielded by the Melnibon`e emperors, these blades where turned over to the Gods and placed in the pulsing cavern when they became too powerful to control. They are known by the names StormBringer and MournBlade. They have the ability to give the wielder unparalleled strength. They are also sentient and require feeding to appease them. This feeding is in the form of souls taken during battle. Many of Elric's enemies plead not to be killed by his fearsome blade, StormBringer, as their souls are sent straight to hell for eternity. Although Elric is able to overcome his genetic weaknesses, and for the first time in his life he no longer needs to ingest his sorceress potions to sustain his life, this strength is gained at the price of a symbiotic relationship with his blade. Many is the time he will regret unsheathing it, as StormBringer has a taste for friend and foe alike.

So, there are some here that enjoy fantasy tales? :cool: I am not familiar with the works of Michael Moorcock, but somewhere in my collection I have Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series.

Dywyddyr

11-17-11, 06:18 PM

Familiar with?
Bah! I'm the guy that used to order Moorcock's books from my local bookshop 6 months before they were published.
But I now tend to stick to Moorcock, Karl Edward Wagner (RIP) and Stephen Donaldson, although Richard Morgan's The Steel Remains (volume 1 of A Land Fit For Heroes) seems to be re-writing the fantasy genre quite radically.

I did read the first 50 or so of McCaffrey's Dragonrider series a couple of decades ago. Unfortunately now they come across as twee and over-similar.

Le Guin's Wizard of Earthsea is also worth a read, as is much of Jack Vance's work.
Possibly Roger Zelazny falls into the fantasy genre (especially the Amber Chronicles), but the guy is worth reading for his use of language and overall erudition. One of my few regrets is that I never let him know how much I appreciated his work. :bawl:

Why the regrets with Roger Zelazny?
Because...

Are you in the habit of communicating with authors whose works you enjoy?
No, except for the few I know personally. But Zelazny was, IMO, an exceptional wordsmith, I've never come across anyone else that can write the way he did.

A very well written short story indeed. Zelazny manages to to provide much detail and imagery, by his choice of words and use of symbolism and metaphor.

I thank you for posting the link. It was a most enjoyable thing to look forward to after my work of this night was done. :)

it is to explain Signal . It is the swarm thing . You got to be able to read swarm. It is fuck difficult as hell to read and Me i am just starting to get a handle on the language , Dw is lucky cause he reads a lot is all I can say . Chimkin learned from the school of hard knocks . Goffey there I think he climbed the religious ladder . Me It is the only language I can speak . Fuck it has been a nightmare trying to relate. But they say petients is a virtue and well I get that from my Mother cause Dad well he can be a real ass hole at times . Fly off the handle if you know what I mean .

Why don't ever talk to Me . Are you afraid ? I don't bite very had . You will like it once you try it . Just a little of your blood would do Me wonders . Make Me young again

No dog-pile, no tickling, and no biting. :bugeye:
